A lot of people here are telling you to do stuff, but not really explaining "why".

A different suggestion would be to build a threat model.

Who are your uploaders? Who are your viewers? What are the threats?

Only when you've figured out what the threats are, can the solutions make sense.

Internal site? Internal users? Publicly available upload link? What media types? ....

Threat modelling is a thing that adds lots of value (imho) when thinking about adding new capabilities to a system.
No need to be snarky. Im not that landlords are the builders with the hammers and nails. They are however, a major customer for houses.

Fewer houses would be built with fewer paying customers. They also incentivize building through their role as a capitalized buyer of used houses.

If it was much harder to resell a house for value, fewer owners would build them in the first place

I really have dozens of strange ideas. If the charging stations need to be equiped with similar batteries we might as well make all cars into charging stations. You can charge your much to large 3x per year road trip battery with your much to large solar array. Park it some place (preferably in need), flag the car in the app as wont move for x hours and has y kwh availble then charge your 40km range coworker premium tarif while you work.

A rail with a towing cable could also charge batteries while also usable for ic engines.
> so they can make money off doing nothing from someone else's need for shelter.

They already did something - they put up their money to buy this property. Now, if you want to use it for shelter, you need to give them something in return.

> They're willing to fight for the law to make shelter situations worse or nonexistence so they can charge more money.

In fact, it's just the opposite - by investing their money (which they could put into stock market, or spent on champagne, caviar and sexually attractive persons of their preferred gender) into the shelter market and then putting that property out to be rented, they are improving the shelter situation. If they didn't exist, then the shelter would not have been built, or you had to buy it outright to use it. Since many people can not afford to do that, and - for example, for young person just starting their careers - it makes no sense for them to do it, the existence of rental properties improves the situation on the market.

> If everyone had a home, there wouldn't be a housing market,

Where those homes would come from? Who would pay the costs for them being built? That's like saying "if everyone would be a bllionaire there would be no need to work for money" - but actually, if that were the case, we'd find ourselves in economic collapse, ask Zimbabwe, they had a lot of billionaires. Homes are a scarce resource that needs to be built using other scarce resources, so the situation you describe is not possible.

> naturally anyone involved in that ecosystem prefers there to be a shortage

A shortage is certainly preferable to any realistic scenarios where there's suddenly an abundance of homes for everybody (e.g. 90% of earth population dying out, or the civilization degrading so much that any random cave or hole in the ground is an adequate home now).

> They're the only market actor that expects no loses and fights for zero risk.

How it's zero risk? You put up an immense sum of money (frequently, that persons whole life savings) for a prospect of uncertain returns in the future (and certain expenses in form of taxes and maintenance). That's the very definition of risky investment.

> That's not business, that's authoritarianism.

I don't think you understand what "authoritarianism" means. Buying or creating a resource with the prospect of later giving other people temporary access to that resource when they need it, in exchange for compensation, is one of the most common business models in existence, you take advantage of it probably a dozen times a day, unless you live in extremely rural and isolated area - even then, how do you access the internet for example? Probably paying for access to somebody who invested in building the infrastructure for you doing so. This is literally one of the most commonest businesses ever.
If you genuinely believe that you have better understanding on how Google's internal infrastructure is running, you should be able to provide better evidence than "other companies can do".

OP here. I posted this as I'm continually troubled by tech recruitment - I think it's fundamentally broken and has been for years now.

I'm verging on writing a long post on it, but came across this article as it included some simplified data/research on the topic (there isn't much around!).

A lot of (or the vast majority) of recruiters have little concept of the true value that sits behind a resume/CV - they don't even have the capacity to understand/interpret the content at times, but there are a few that aren't as bad as the rest. A hat-tip to them!

I've had to work with a lot of recruiters at times in tech leadership roles and not by choice. I dislike working with them and generally because most of time, they don't really care about fit - they're simply looking to hit their monthly, quarterly or annual target numbers. I've also seen actions by recruiters that verge on slander/defamation and horrors I don't want to see ever again.

Where CV's are concerned, it's a crap shoot and I'll happily admit that I hate writing my own...

In the comments, someone mentioned "hiring direct". Now there's a method that truly does work. I've hired more than 150 devs personally and the vast majority have been through direct hires via network and events.

Whilst it's super important to hire for skills, hire for attitude first. Skills can be improved (and taught if needed). Attitude is everything!

"…your very next swipe being an ad for a Land Rover"

That automation has reached this degree of sophistication is why I claimed in my post that internet privacy is dead for the vast majority of people.

One cannot own a smartphone and maintain even a modicum of privacy unless one takes drastic measures such as those mentioned in my post. And the vast majority will never go that far and Big Tech is fully cognizant of the fact (acquiescence is so much easier than struggling to achieve one's privacy, it underpins Big Tech's huge success).

Interesting -- we appear to have crossfaded; I started with markdown/neovim, moved to Obsidian for card layout (that canvas feature is fire!), and TBH I still use Obisidian in lots of ways, especially for longer bits of writing. But despite my 120wpm typing speed and deep facility with tech, I find the quality of consciousness I get in an environment that's airgapped from the digital realm is unique.

Obsidian also is good for storing _backups_ of my notebooks, which I make with my smartphone camera. It's pretty nice to be able to thumb through a handwritten notebook from a few years ago.

the Neovim era was great for establishing the basic folder structure I use, but ran out of gas when I needed to introduce notes which weren't UTF-8.

The Hi-Tec C is a reasonable pen, and I wouldn't disrespect it, but a mid-market fountain pen is as far as I can get from my calligraphy practice and still feel comfortable; I am also probably overinvested in the specific qualities of inks that I use.

Still, I permit the roccoco aficionado-mind to flourish, as, again, it is in the service of a greater good. Even a fast ship needs ballast.

It makes sense though. The employer will lie constantly in one of those interviews. It's best to shore up your chances. This is the system employers wanted so give it to them. It's not like you'll be working there in three years anyway.
Interesting, these companies are springing up left and right. Software solutions to a hardware problem. It looks like most of the available compute is allocated, so they are going to have to get a bunch more providers onboarded.

I wonder why y-combinator is stuffing their investments with multiples of these similar companies... https://www.shadeform.ai/ is another one.

A few quick comments:

Reading the source of their install script:

It doesn't start off with set -e, which could result in an incomplete install, yet appear to finish.

It also installs some binary "instance-server"... who knows what it does... would you trust this on your server on your network?

It is nvidia specific... sadly, don't expect AMD gpus anytime soon.

Use Cloudflare R2 for storage, public bucket for delivery, and a $10/month Hetzner server to run conversions. You don't have to take your users' money just to burn it on AWS...

If you are using AWS and are worried about cost, the first step is to not use AWS.

They can take many approaches.

That’s interesting. Nowadays I think (although I’m certainly not very handy) soft faced hammers are mostly used to protect what you are hammering, right? So it is mostly an aesthetic thing.

That's almost 20 years ago and the market size was significantly smaller, so they could justify 30% to run the ecosystem. In fact, Phil Schiller actually thought 30% won't last forever if there's any competition. The only reason they could keep the 30% tax is the mobile market duopoly.

It's an awful organization. They push dietetics licensure preventing people from getting nutrition information from a provider of their choice, because the organization depends on dietitians paying yearly for the Registered Dietitian credential. You can't get a license without being an RD. It is the most useless form of government regulation, but thankfully they have lost a lot of states. Now you only need a license in about 14 states.

If you want to see something really hilarious, look up Pepin Tuma, their former government affairs guy. Total jerk. There are countless videos of him threatening and berating government committees over their skepticism of the license. He was finally fired a couple of years ago.

Few buildings in Europe are today solely made from wood, but nearly every building will be part wood. From the frame on which walls and floors are built up with other materials up to the roof where for most houses the very structure is made from wood, it's clear wood is one of the most essential building components. To be honest I struggle to think of any building I've ever seen that has no wood - except for semi-subterranean structures or those built out of natural structures I can't think of any.
The decline in land value wouldn't be from government policy, it would be from people not wanting to live on land contaminated with sufficient radioactivity. If anything, government policy would be driven by this public sentiment, not the other way around.

Inferred types seem to be an indication that even the most type-safe languages (eg rust) recognize that types hinder readability, at least in some way.
Ah, now we’re getting somewhere! No modern landlord would support the demise of rents on lands, which is why they the same as the parasitic feudal dullards Smith elsewhere decries. Modern, urban landlords want to reap what the do not sow, i.e. the value derived from the productive activity of cities where they buy up houses to maintain an (individually partial, collectively large) monopoly on the availability and use of land. They generally in fact go one step further and leverage this monopoly to obtain loans, premised on the inflated valuations derived from the constraint of supply, and extend it even further. In a Georgist arrangement, they would be forced to reinvest rents on properties into making said properties more economically productive…which is why no modern landlords are Georgists!
